You can turn a selection into a custom, seamless pattern which you can use for applications like painting, adding text, or creating Web page backgrounds.
To create a custom pattern:
Make a selection in the image.
Choose Effects > Image Effects > Seamless Tiling to open the Seamless Tiling dialog.
Choose the tiling method, direction, settings, and corner style, and then click OK.
Note: To use the pattern that you create, save it in the Patterns folder of the Paint Shop Pro program folder and select it as your foreground or background material, see Choosing Patterns. You can then use the pattern to paint, create text, or fill an entire image.
